Dreams were beautiful, but reality was cruel!
When Wu Ni saw his attack getting dissipated silently, his divine senses quickly scanned around; and he discovered some strange things around Jiang Yi.
“Astral winds?”
Wu Ni’s soul spirit toughness was passable. It was challenging for those born in the Wu Clan to have a weak soul spirit. After discovering those things were astral winds, he was so shocked that his body trembled; and he nearly yelled out for his guards to rescue him.
What were astral winds?
They were indestructible lethal weapons. It was at this point he finally understood how Jiang Yi destroyed his spirit-connected cardinal treasure in the Purgatory Ruin. He burst in retreat and locked his divine senses on Jiang Yi and got a relief when he checked Jiang Yi’s surroundings.
He didn’t know how Jiang Yi released astral winds, but… he noticed that the astral winds were three kilometers around Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi’s astral winds must be unable to go beyond three kilometers. Otherwise, Jiang Yi would have already attacked him.
Swish! Swish!
His body turned into lightning and flew high up into the sky. It was daytime now, and the height below 30 kilometers was safe, and so Wu Ni could fly as he pleased. Jiang Yi’s speed was too slow when compared to him. He could easily avoid Jiang Yi and think of a method to break this situation.
“Astral winds?”
Many observing peak-stage Heaven Monarchs scanned over with their divine senses and quickly noticed the strange energy nearby Jiang Yi. They were exactly the same as astral winds, and when many of the experts confirmed this, there was an instant uproar.
No one knew how Jiang Yi obtained the astral winds as no one saw him absorbing astral winds. They assumed that he had obtained a type of treasure. No one even thought about the absorption of astral winds as only three clans knew that astral winds could be absorbed.
Apart from the important descendants of the Zhan, Yi, and Yin Clans, no one knew that the Mystic Thearch also had this supreme skill. The astral winds were horrific. Who could have known that someone could absorb astral winds?
Nevertheless!
This discovery still shocked many people. The ten Wu Clan’s peak-stage Heaven Monarchs nearly wanted to forcefully stop the battle, but when they thought about all the eyes observing this official duel and that Wu Ni would be ashamed if they were to stop the duel, no one dared to act rashly.
“Something isn’t right…”
Many experts quickly found out Jiang Yi’s secrets. His astral winds could only revolve around three kilometers from his body, and Jiang Yi was constantly trying to chase after Wu Ni just to get nearer. Otherwise, Wu Ni would already be in danger now.
“Hu-hu!”
The ten experts from the Wu Clan let out a breath of relief. Ji Tingyu suddenly whispered something and an elder quickly transmitted a message: “Young Master Ni, Young Lady Tingyu asked you to constantly attack him and don’t let him approach you. Deplete his astral winds as the astral winds cannot be limitless.”
“Alright!”
Wu Ni already had this intention to constantly fly in high altitudes and constantly thrust with his spear and send out tens of thousands of spear shadow to deplete Jiang Yi’s astral winds. He had been maintaining a distance of fewer than five kilometers from Jiang Yi and using guerrilla tactics.
“This will not work. The astral winds will deplete in two hours if this carried on.”
Jiang Yi was grumbling silently, but he couldn’t do anything. His speed was too slow, and it was impossible for him to catch up to Wu Ni. The amount of astral winds inside his ninth star sphere wasn’t abundant. Even though not much astral winds were required to destroy Wu Ni’s wind dragons, Wu Ni was using an essence force attack which he could release for ten days and nights without rest. If he used up all the astral winds, he would be in danger!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The duo was flying in high altitude. One of them was chasing, and the other was running. The one who was running was doing it leisurely and constantly attack with a relaxed attitude. The one chasing had knitted brows and grave expression instead.
Close to a thousand spectators were frowning as they watched as this was the first time they were witnessing such a strange battle. Especially the young masters and ladies of the Buddha Region who didn’t have powerful divine senses and were unable to detect astral winds. They were very confused as they didn’t know Jiang Yi was neutralizing Wu Ni’s attack, and they couldn’t understand why Wu Ni wasn’t releasing powerful abilities and using such boring attacks.
One hour later, Jiang Yi stopped. Since he couldn’t catch up, he might as well stop!
He flew into the distance and straight for a mountain range. Since he couldn’t catch up, he would think of a method to lure his enemy then execute a sneak attack. If this carried on, his astral winds would be depleted; and he would have no choice but to escape with the Heaven Evasion.
“Planning to run?”
Wu Ni’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he chased without hesitation, but he was still very prudent. He maintained a distance and continued to attack and exhaust Jiang Yi’s astral winds.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jiang Yi was traversing in between the mountain peaks and using the peaks to block Wu Ni’s wind dragons’ attack, which allowed him to reduce the usage of the astral winds. Wu Ni was a high-stage Heaven Monarch, and the silver spear in his hand was a pseudo-divine artifact. Thus, even though he was only executing a mid-grade dao pattern, it was still sufficiently powerful. The mountain peaks below were getting blasted as many of them were penetrated with large holes. The majority of the mountain peaks had collapsed, causing rumbling sounds to echo non-stop while dust covered the sky, leaving behind a complete disorder at the surface of the ground.
“What should I do?”
Jiang Yi was traversing between the mountains, and his mind was spinning very quickly. Wu Ni was too cautious and had been maintaining a distance. The peak-stage Heaven Monarchs from the Wu Clan and many guards of the various young masters and ladies had been following behind. Even if he suddenly made a killing move to release the Divine Sound Heaven Skill and the Fury of Thunder, he wouldn’t be able to capture Wu Ni in an instant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each explosion resonating, Jiang Yi’s astral winds got lesser. He gritted his teeth and was preparing to launch a desperate attack.
When he detoured around the large mountain, the Wind Shadow Cloak appeared and suddenly increased his speed. He circled around the large mountain and rapidly approached Wu Ni.
At the same time, his ring lit up and countless weapons and stones appeared which he threw at Wu Ni aggressively. These weapons were the wooden swords and balls which he obtained in the Purgatory Ruin and were all spirit artifacts and heaven artifacts. He didn’t care what it was as he threw all of them and created a feeling as though it was a sky filled with hidden weapons.
Swish!
At the same time, twelve soul swords silently flashed out from his soul spirit and flew slowly along with the sky filled with weapons. He was preparing to take a risk to see if the soul swords could sneak an assault on Wu Ni.
“What is he trying to play?”
Wu Ni blinked his eyes and scanned across the ‘hidden weapons; in the sky with his divine senses and noticed that they were all broken toys. Many of them were even inferior weapons which weren’t thrown with essence force and merely with brute strength. How were these weapons going to kill someone?
“Young Master, be careful! Young Lady Tingyu asked me to remind you to beware of tricks!”
A transmitted voice echoed, and Wu Ni was startled and immediately backed off. He was very trusting towards Ji Tingyu and would almost listen to everything she said. Hence, he didn’t bother about these hidden weapons and retreated first.
“Damn…”
Jiang Yi cursed, and the nine golden soul swords and the three dark gold soul swords jolted with radiance. Their speed suddenly increased several times and turned into twelve lightning bolts that flew at Wu Ni.
“There is indeed a trick!”
Wu Ni revealed a smile as the three pearls revolving around his body turned into lightning bolts and flew towards Jiang Yi’s twelve soul swords as he was getting ready to destroy the twelve soul swords!
Who knew—?
The soul swords looked to be real but were, in fact, soul spirit attacks. The twelve soul swords directly passed through the three dark green pearls and rapidly chased after Wu Ni.
“This…”
Wu Ni revealed a trace of panic and dilemma as three of the soul swords suddenly increased by twice the speed and was drastically enlarging in his eyes. It was just a few thousand feet away from him.
“Young Master, don’t hide your strength anymore!”
A Wu Clan’s peak-stage Heaven Monarch expert’s transmitted message echoed immediately. “Young Lady Tingyu asked you to release your six-star dao pattern without any reserves. No need to be afraid of exposing it and directly kill Bai Yi! This Bai Yi is too dangerous, you have to kill him!”
“Don’t hide my strength?”
Wu Ni’s mind spun quickly while he revealed a cruel smile and roared out, “Kid, this Young Master has comprehended a six-star dao pattern and has never been released in front of outsiders. Today, it will be your honor to die under this dao pattern! Die…”
